Trying to Score (62 page)

Lucas knew in his heart that she loved him, she was just being stubborn. Instead of dwelling on her not saying that she loved him, he would much rather take her home to put her body to work. Lust filled his eyes at the thought of what he wanted to do, while his hand slid down her back to her bottom. If he thought about the possibility of her not loving him, he might fall apart. So he pressed himself against her and nipped at her chin as he pushed all those thoughts to the back of his head. A small smile pulled at the side of Fallon’s mouth as she glanced up at him through half lidded eyes. “I’m ready when you are.”

Lucas was impressed with the fact that they had made it all the way home and even in the house before they started pulling at each other’s clothes. Once inside and after making sure Levi wasn’t home, Fallon worked on undoing his tie as he looked for the zipper of her dress.

“Do
not
rip this dress,” she said between kisses. Lucas laughed against her lips since he was thinking just that as she slowly removed his jacket.

“Then take it off,” he said, pulling away from her. She took a step back from him, running her hands down her body before unzipping the dress slowly down the side. Fallon moved like she was dancing to music that played only in her head, and Lucas begged to be in there with her. As he leaned against the door, his body was taut as he watched her slowly move the dress down her body, exposing inch by delectable inch of her beautiful tanned skin. She wore no bra, but that wasn’t what had him hard as a rock — it was the naughty lace thong that barely covered anything. Fallon brought her hands up her body, cupping her breasts before turning and giving him a spectacular view of her round bottom. She started to walk away, her heels clicking on the marble floor and Lucas almost tripped over his feet trying to catch up to her.

As they climbed the stairs, pieces of Lucas’ suit were left along the way, and he couldn’t have cared less about the wrinkles that it would cause — all he cared about was removing that lace thong. When they reached his closed door, Fallon reached for the handle to open it, but he stopped her. Moving his hands into hers and then above her head as she let out little gasps of air, he pressed his aching bulge into her soft ass and dusted kisses along her shoulders and up her neck. She was breathing hard, and her eyes closed as she lengthened her neck, giving him all the room he desired. He moved his hands from hers and slowly moved them down her body until he came to her lace thong.

Lucas placed soft kisses along the back of her neck as his hand moved inside of the lace, cupping her softly. He moved his lips down the middle of her back and was rewarded with a shiver as he continued down her body. He kissed along her spine, until he reached the top of her thong. Lucas dropped to his knees and looked up at her to see she was looking over her shoulder at him through those sexy wide eyes. As he grazed his teeth along the top of her thong where all three straps of lace met, Fallon let out a soft moan. He pulled the fabric away from her body with his teeth and she writhed against the wall.

“Oh God, please,” she cried.

Lucas couldn’t take it anymore and jerked his head quickly to the side. The sound of ripping fabric filled the hall before the thong hung from his mouth and a devilish grin formed on his face. Fallon turned quickly, looking down at him before she reached down, taking the panties from his mouth and throwing them down the hall. Lucas stood up and reached for her, pressing their warm bodies together as he opened the door. He pushed her inside and shut the door behind him before turning to lock it. When he turned he found Fallon sitting on the edge of the bed, with her legs crossed and a naughty smile on her face. Lucas’ dick twitched at the sight of her beautifully naked body, and he swore he came when her finger came up, beckoning for him to come to her.

He didn’t keep her waiting.

Quickly closing the gap between them, his body was on fire and he needed her. Now. He went to push her back in the bed, but she shook her head, running her hands down his chest. Her hands stopped at his hips as her mouth did work on each of his abs. He didn’t realize what she was doing until she ran her tongue slowly down his swollen shaft. Lucas took in a sharp breath through his teeth before locking his fingers behind his head. He knew if he didn’t, he was going to rip her hair out from the pleasure she was about to give him.

When Fallon took him into her sweet succulent mouth, Lucas let out a long husky moan as his eyes rolled into the back of his head. She swirled her tongue along the head of his shaft before taking him to the back of her throat. She started to go faster, repeating the motions, making it entirely too hard for Lucas to keep his hands locked behind his head. When she ran her nails down his thighs before cupping his balls, he couldn’t take it anymore. He pulled away from her and before she could say anything, he flipped her over onto her belly and drove into her. She cried out his name and that drove him to go into her harder. He picked her up by her hips, giving him a better angle before plunging deeply inside her. Lucas couldn’t go slow, he couldn’t. He drove into her to the hilt and then back out before repeating it again.

“Harder,” she cried, and he didn’t disappoint. The sound of flesh meeting and Fallon’s moans were the only noises coming from Lucas’ room. When she came, she shuddered as her body clenched in spasms around his hot, bulging shaft. Lucas bit down on his bottom lip as he tried to push past the intense pleasure her tight, wet flesh was giving him. He was only able thrust into her twice more before he exploded inside her with a great cry of deliverance. His body convulsed as his fingers bit into her hips.

Lucas opened his eyes to see only the profile of Fallon’s face. Her breathing was erratic, and Lucas knew his was too. He looked down to where they were still connected and smacked her ass playfully. Fallon let out a cry and he laughed as he pulled out of her and fell down into the spot beside her. Lucas took in a deep breath before looking over at her flushed face. He smiled before slowly leaning over and pressing his lips to hers. They parted slowly, and he went back for more. Her hand cupped his face as his pulled her closer to him. Fallon pulled back, and smiled before nipping at his bottom lip.

“Goodness me, that was fantastic.”

Lucas nodded. He then slowly ran his nose along hers before meeting his lips to hers for more of her drugging kisses. As they continued to kiss slowly, he couldn’t bring her close enough to him. He wanted to mold their bodies together and live together as one.

“God, I love you,” he whispered against her lips. He went to kiss her again but she pulled back.

“I’m trying to allow myself to say it, Lucas, I am, but it’s just so hard. I want to, but I’m scared of what could happen. I’m scared you’ll leave me again, and then I’ll be brokenhearted again. I can’t do it again.”

“Fallon I’m not going anywhere. I love you, I don’t know how many times I have to tell you that I’ll never cheat, lie, or do anything to hurt you. I promise you that, you got to believe me baby, you have to trust me.”

Fallon nodded. “I’m trying Lucas, I am. Just don’t hate me okay?”

Lucas shook his head. He knew she loved him — call him cocky — but he knew. Fallon was his, and he was confident that she wasn’t going anywhere. Things were still a little messy in some spots but for the most part they were good. He didn’t know what else he had to do to prove he would never her hurt again but he would figure it out. Nothing was going to come between them again. He loved her too much to lose her again.

Lucas moved a stray piece of hair out of her eyes and kissed her nose before saying, “Fallon, I could never hate you. I love you too much.”

Fallon closed her eyes, pressing her forehead to his. “I’ve been waiting so long to hear you say that again. It’s like a dream.”

Lucas nodded his head. “I know what you mean and baby,” she looked up and he smiled, “I’ll wait forever for you to make my dreams come true because baby girl, I’m not going anywhere.”

Lucas was in no way, shape or form in the mood for hockey. He was in the mood to stay in bed with Fallon all afternoon. He hated saying goodbye to her, and he knew that when he saw her later that night, it would be to say goodbye at the airfield. Lucas wished he could have skipped the practice but there was no way, not with the playoffs starting the next day. He couldn’t believe it was the end of the season and in a way he was glad. He was excited for the summer with Fallon and Aiden, excited about what they would do. Maybe they could go back to California for a little bit or maybe somewhere more tropical. He didn’t care, as long as he was with them.

“Thinking hard there, Brooks?”

Lucas looked over from where he was unlacing his skates to see Anderson smiling at him. He smiled back as he nodded. “I’m ready to win this series.”

“Me too, so ready.”

Lucas nodded again, removing his skate and cleaning the ice off the blade before placing it in his locker. Anderson was doing the same as Lucas and he thought they were done talking but then he said, “So hey, we’re taking Odder out again before we get on the plane. The guy is hilarious when he is drunk. You should come with us.”

Lucas looked over at him, his eyebrows drawn in together. “Odder isn’t old enough to drink.”

“So? We buy it for him. Wanna come or not?”

Lucas stood up, looking across the locker room where Tate sat taking off his goalie equipment while listening to his iPod. It was guys like Anderson that had gotten Lucas in trouble when he was a kid, and there was no way he was going to let it happen to Tate. Tate was a good kid, and he had a bright future ahead of him. Lucas pointed a finger at Anderson and said, “Stay away from him.” Lucas then walked across the locker room and stood in front of the young goalie. When Tate looked up, he pulled his headphones from his ears and smiled.

“For the love of God,” Lucas groaned before turning to look at his fellow teammates. “Does anyone care about this kid?! Country music?”

Everyone looked at Lucas like he was crazy but he didn’t care. He pulled the iPod from Tate’s hands and shook his head, “Country music bad, sad. Make you cry. I’ll get you good music. Stay away from these idiots okay? Stick with me.”

“You?”

Lucas nodded. “Me. Is your family here in the states?”

Tate looked down at the ground, shaking his head. When he looked up at Lucas, his eyes were filled with sorrow. “My family die last year.”

Lucas hadn’t known, and seeing Tate’s face he knew that the death was still raw. Lucas cupped his hand on his shoulders. “My dad died a while back, but my mom is still here and she is great. You’ll love her. Come on, get dress, we’ll go have lunch.”

Tate flashed him a winning smile and Lucas smiled back. He couldn’t help but feel protective over the kid and he wasn’t going to let anyone corrupt him the way he had been corrupted.

Wasn’t going to happen.

Taking Tate out was good idea but a bad one all at the same time. Since Lucas had spent a good part of the afternoon bonding with Tate, he hadn’t packed, which meant he was losing time with Fallon and Aiden. Lucas prayed that Levi had already started packing for him, or had it done, but it was doubtful since Levi probably thought Lucas had already done it. Lucas rushed back to his house and ran up the stairs to the back door, mentally picturing what he needed to pack so he could get it done quicker.

As he climbed the stairs, Lucas had no clue what suit he was going to wear, since his lucky one was still in a crumple along his stairs. He really should have hung the suit up, but the more he thought about it, getting Fallon in his bed was more important at the time. A sly grin came over his face at the thought of Fallon moaning out his name the night before and he couldn’t wait to see her again. Couldn’t wait to hold her and kiss her one last time before he was gone for four days.

Lucas reached the back door, pushing it open in a rush. When his eyes fell on Levi, the grin that was on Lucas’ face disappeared and thoughts of Fallon went along with it.

Lucas felt like he was having an out-of-body experience.

All he could hear was Fallon’s words of what the guy had done to Audrey, what he had called her and how he had treated her. Lucas stood in the doorway, stunned as his eyes left Audrey’s shocked face and met with Levi’s laughing ones. Rage filled Lucas from the inside out as his pulse picked up in speed. His jaw clenched as his workout bag dropped to the ground.

“Lucas,” Audrey gasped. She moved away from Levi and picked up a shirt up off the ground before putting it on. “Oh God.”

Levi laughed. “What’s the big deal A? It’s just Lucas.” A tick started in Lucas’ eyes as he watched Audrey scramble for her clothes. “He knows I have sex.”

Lucas saw red and at that moment, he knew he was going to kill his best friend.

Lucas wasn’t thinking, he just acted as he closed the distance between them. His hand came around Levi’s throat, slamming him into the wall as Audrey let out a shrilling scream. Levi looked up at Lucas with a dumbfounded look on his face but Lucas didn’t care. He had known that Levi was an ass to girls, but being an ass to Audrey wasn’t going to cut it.
